the top, the outer near the middle of the veutricose part of 

 the tube ; the three upper tortuously declined round the 

 sides of the tube, the three lower straight, with their points 

 conniving. Anthers short, incumbent. Style declined and 

 pressed against the lower petal. Stigma trifid. 



The seeds of this genus arc probably flat and foliaccous, 

 like those of Cyrtanthus and the other genera allied to it. 

 The sketch was taken from a bulb imported by Mr. Bur- 

 chell from the Cape, which flowered in the Spotforth col- 

 lection. Specimens of this plant vary a little in the bril- 

 liancy of the stripes and the expansion of the limb ; but 

 I have never seen the germ and lower part of the tube 

 red, as it is represented in the Botanical Register, nor 

 the corolla so large. A bulb in Mr. Burchell's garden 

 produced a two-flowered stem in the open border, on which 

 account the name clavatum has been restored, unifiorum 

 being improper and Pumilio having reference to the large 

 bulbs of Amaryllis, &c. and not to the genus Gastroneina. 

 For the wide difference between Gastroneina and Cyrtan- 

 thus, see the Appendix, p. 28. W. //.
